THEY STAYED AT THE WROHNG HOTEL!

Yeah that is pretty nuts to not think of Pudge as first ballot, he has most games caught ever, 7 silver sluggers and 13 gold gloves, league MVP, he has all the counting stats to back up a first ballot resume and even won a ring.

I’m a pretty casual baseball fan and I thought the sequence was just fine and filled with drama.

Manfred might say it’s driving fans away. I call it baseball, and he can fuck right off. That whole chess match was thrilling as fuck.

yea, but lets flesh out your strawman a bit there so it somewhat bears resemblance to what UConn is doing on this roll.

That game was ridiculous, though. It’s not often that a sixty-point deficit fails to properly reflect how overmatched the losing team was. Mississippi State came in as a 5-seed at 28-7; hardly slouches, but they got positively blown. off. the. floor.

Meanwhile, if the Red Sox were half as dominant as UConn, he would write a daily column about how it is must-see TV and how it’s great for the sport and would then somehow invoke “the children” into it.
